Many moons ago, I held several certifications in Photoshop – including two AdobeAce – and taught photographers how to edit photos.
Here are a few examples from some of my own edits I used while teaching. Note that they (the edits, not the original photos) are over 30 years old :-). Also worth noting is that all this was done manually, waaay before any ‘auto (insert whatever unction you want here)‘.
Those were the good old days 😉
